Switching to PinePhone for a noob
It seems it is possible to connect a docking bar to the PinePhone but I cannot find what happens next? Is it possible to show on a screen what is displayed on my phone or is it dual screen or can I choose? I love the concepts behind maruOs but I think the project is dead.

>> So what exactly are “consumers” clamoring for that are not currently being delivered?
Until other choices are available, people tend to accept the default or keep on doing what was done in the past.
There is a segment of consumers that would like choices beyond Apple and Google mobile operating systems:

Personally, I would like to see more "convergence" devices that let the little computer I carry around with me be anything I want it to be: a programmable general purpose computer, a streaming media server, or whatever else I want.
There are some projects that offer such functionality, but most require expert knowledge to setup or are not very widely-adopted or not very mature:

How can I use my old Android phone as a basic computer?

Are any Android ROMs focused on Android's desktop mode?
I just found MaruOS. It appears to be exactly what I was looking for. They are a little small apparently. They support only Nexus and Pixel phones and one Samsung's device. Hopefully they'll have a bright future.

Use phone as desktop computer when linked to a monitor
So someone in this subreddit told me about Maru OS and that really got me dreaming about using my phone as a desktop computer when connected to a monitor. The Astro Slide with its dual boot capabilities and its two USB-C ports would be ideal for that I think.

Looking for a way to stream from Stremio (or other streaming solution) to hotel TVs while travelling: Looking at Chromecast/streaming sticks or some sort of Raspberry Pi setup. Any idea is appreciated.
My next phone will definitely be supported by https://maruos.com/ :)

Looking for some basic feedback on native signal app
You should join forces with https://gitlab.com/whisperfish/whisperfish/ , they're already much further but currently Sailfish only. It's Rust+QML, too.

GTK and custom themes - what really happened
I suggest to take a look at the architecture of Whisperfish. It uses the qmetaobject crate to write models backing a QML GUI and has some interesting code for getting Tokio and Qt's event loop to work together.

Any news on using the Signal app on the PinePhone?
There's also work being done to bring Whisperfish (a Sailfish OS signal client) over to other distributions, but I don't know what the current state of that effort is.

The new updates to Plasma Mobile introduce the first steps towards multiple homescreens, timers for KClock, new podcast and Mastodon apps, and more.
